Because Tuesday is special (Hey, you survived Monday, right?), here are some good specials going on somewhere near you…
Late evening, half-priced drinks with dinner: Caffe Luna Rosa
Stayed at the office way too late? Did that afternoon meeting turn into I-can’t-believe-it’s-9-and-I-haven’t-eaten? Caffe Luna Rosa (34 S. Ocean Blvd., Delray Beach, 561/274-9404) feels your pain and is doing something nice for you. If you order dinner after 9 p.m., your wines by the glass, or beer or cocktail will be half-off, and they’re also ordering special premium wines and liquors at discounted prices. Put that special with an order of the yummy linguini vongole piccolo (pictured, and one of my faves) and you’ve got a good reason to stay out late.
Spring menu includes wood-grilled fish dishes: Bonefish Grill
It was the mouthwatering Rockefeller Cobia, made with wood-grilled fish and topped with sharp, creamy spinach and lump crab (pictured) that made me really glad spring was here. It’s part of Bonefish Grill’s new spring menu (available at all locations), along with some new spring drinks: a fresh grapefruit martini, and the wild orchid Hawaiian martini with Cruzan Guava rum, pineapple juice, coconut water and desert pear. Bring it, spring!
National Beer Day means some specials on tap: Eau Palm Beach
While April 7 is the true National Beer Day, we’re finding specials overrunning our draft glasses, not limited to that one day—and that’s a good thing. One of the events will be a local tap takeover at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa (100 S. Ocean Blvd., Manalapan, 561/540-4924) on April 9, from noon to 5 p.m. at the seaside Breeze Ocean Kitchen, and a beer social from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at the Temple Orange Mediterranean Bistro. The free (free!) beer tastings at Breeze will include four local brews (like Twisted Trunk, pictured) that rotate each hour. The beer social at Temple Orange costs $65 per person and includes six small plates paired with local beers. Reservations are required.
